Maxi Marine O-3

Maxi Marine O-3 is an ultra-pure, ultra-high potency fish oil from anchovies and sardines harvested in pristine Norwegian Arctic waters. Purity is further assured by molecular distillation and every batch is verified by an independent third-party lab to be free of PCB’s, heavy metals and pesticides. Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) is added to maintain maximum freshness and enteric coating ensures no “fishy” after-taste.

EPA/DHA (which occur together in fish oils) have numerous studies supporting their anti-inflammatory properties and use in multiple hyper-inflammatory and autoimmune states. (14-24) EPA and DHA decrease NK cell activity (14,24-29), and this effect is synergistic when both EPA and DHA are used together.(18,28). EPA, but not ALA, also decreases TNF-alpha.(23-25).

While ALA (flax oil) has some similar benefits, it must be taken in significantly higher doses because ultimately the anti-inflammatory effect is seen when ALA is converted to EPA, as follows:

An estimated 0.07% of ALA is converted to EPA in healthy people (30,31), but the conversion rate may be less when the delta-6-desaturase (d6d) enzyme is under functioning or when there is high competition from dietary Omega-6’s (both use the d6d enzyme). Assuming that converting enzymes are normal in a fertility clinic patient, a dose comparison would be 14 grams of flax oil vs. 1 grams of fish oil.

Studies have shown that ALA increases EPA but not DHA.(31) Some studies have shown that ALA does not reduce inflammatory markers (23,29). For these reasons, fish oil is preferable to flax oil for raising EPA/DHA levels (33).

Suggested Use: Adults take one or two capsules daily with meals or more if directed by your health care provider. Please note that the EPA/DHA content of Maxi Marine O-3 (700mg total) is two and a half times more concentrated than most fish oils.

Because Maxi Marine is so concentrated it is a much more economical choice for those using higher doses of these important oils. Our regular brand of Ultra-Pure Fish Oil costs approximately 67 cents per gram while our higher-potency Maxi Marine O-3 is only 58 cents per gram. Higher potency means fewer capsules per day, representing significant cost savings.

Use in Fertility Restoration therapy is normally one capsule twice daily.
